I have a DRBD test cluster that I've been playing around with. I used
100Mb partitions for DRBD but now I'd like to play with something
bigger. I've resized the partitions with cfdisk and booted up one of the
machines with only /etc/init.d/drbd started (no datadisk). When I try to
create a new file system on my newly resized drbd device I get this
error:

database:~# mke2fs -j /dev/nb0
mke2fs 1.27 (8-Mar-2002)
/dev/nb0: Read-only file system while setting up superblock

Only one machine is running. How can I create a new filesystem on this
device?

Thanks
